    Ok...

    So I finished the video, posted it and went to the park to shoot for like an hour thinking that when I got home I'd have a few replies saying "Good job" or something like that. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by the reception this video received. It's up to #5 on the Top Rated list for the Sports category for today. It's hard to even fathom that, considering how many videos are on that site.

    Anyway, thank you to everyone for the feedback. It definitely makes me feel better about "wasting" my day on creating this thing, although I enjoy every minute of it (except when my computer freezes! :mad: ).

    Great, great job on this video! Definately one of the best I've seen. The similarities in some of those moves are just ridiculous -- so hard to believe you could find that many!

    Thanks.

    There were several more too, but Windows Movie Maker was taking sh!ts left and right so I finished it up before I somehow lost all my work. Working with all those clips was giving my computer a beatdown. Windows Vista better fix that crap, because this computer I'm on is brand new and has 2gigs of RAM. I could probably run Oblivion, AIM, Winamp, and a couple more programs all at once without too much fuss, but just Movie Maker? Nooooooooooo, of course not. :mad:

    WOW...simply one of the best sports mash videos I've seen. Looks like it took much longer than a mere 12 hours. Major props. :D

    Thanks for the great video.

    I think Yao Ming must have been watching Olajuwon's video replays over and over, and imitating his every move............

    Thanks for the additional comments. I can't say enough how amazed I am by the popularity of this thing. It's now ranked as the #1 rated sports video for today and the #19 rated video for today out of ALL youtube videos. I never would have thought :eek:

    I'm going to go ahead and upload it to rapidshare for anyone that wants it (high quality) for their computer.

    Am i the only one that noticed the was a 1 second scene where Hakeem blocks Tmac when hes going for a layup? :D

    Man everytime i see the Rockets playing the mavs during the playoffs in 2004 i start to get down and feel sad.
